Seats problem #1

I sat in the driver's seat of my 2003 Ford Taurus and the driver's side front spring sheared and slashed my tire. I had to tow the car and replace both front struts, springs and the ruined tire. I saw this was common in 2001-2003 Tauruses in northern states but a recall has only been issued on the 2001 models. I could have been killed if this happened while I was driving.

Front Seat Power Adjust problem #2

The contact states there is a NHTSA recall campaign 04v330000 concerning power adjustable seat. . This vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall, but it is not included in the recall due to VIN. No repairs have been made. Also, the power trunk lid lock. Malfunctioned. The trunk will lock intermittently. The vehicle has not been seen by a dealer.
